Boeing included?
Suggest that you draw your own conclusions.
Posted by Chris - Boeing included?
Yet again he gives his adoring readership his c.v. reminding them of how he is qualified on five airline types and 13 corporate jet types. Somehow he weaves that gem into most of what he writes. Plus a valuable lesson on how to fly an engine out procedure, despite it being irrelevant to the subject. Non sequitor or what?
Then simplifies the problem to a mere pitch trim runaway, which of course any well trained pilot such as himself would instantly recognise and deal with.
No mention of the lack of information from Boeing at the time. No mention of a probable lack of updated simulator software to give pilots the additional conflicting cues that likely occurred, ie the other chaos which likely was going on with stick shakers, erroneous airspeeds, trim running, then stopping, then runnng etc

GT has been busy solving the ET crash as well.

Remember the grubby media make out this GT numbnuts to be some sort of genius! The news in all its formats are aimed at everyone not just pilots/engineers, Mr&Mrs Joe Public are clueless and believe whatever is on the news!
Put a knowledgable engineer or experienced Boeing driver on the news then a proper explanation would go right over the heads of most, hence the media keep it simple for the masses leaving us in the industry shaking our heads! ,

Both BB and GT have been very quiet on this subject... after their embarrassing comments on Lion Air.
Just sticking their toes back into the water! Hopefully it will be too hot!

"The problem with these budgets airlines is that unlike Qantas, Emirates and everyone else, the pilots get in the flight simulator every six months and practice these things.."

I've read Ean Higgins latest book on MH370. BB doesn't remember too much from his AVMED days regarding contracting the "Bends".
You pre-breathed pure oxygen for an extended time BB. Thats why you didn't get the Bends.
Same for your canopy incident at 40,000 feet. You were on pure oxygen.
But what do I know?

BB has more than ample of the second requisite and an excess of items one and three.
Being right isn't necessary.
So will he release an official apology?
IF it is found that the Stab Trim Switches are not Cutout then BB is on the money. Unfortunately, my suspicion is that both these crews failed to complete the Memory Items in a timely manner. The billion dollar question is what position are the switches in?
I think you are right on the mark.
The long time discouragement of any hand flying is now biting us collectively on the posterior.
Tootle pip!!
I think the point was BB specifically called out Lion Air and other 'budget airlines' for not training their pilots to the same standard as 'legacy' airlines.
He made that statement the day after the accident, thereby allowing the public to think that the two were somehow connected.
As it turns out, there maybe more to it. The fleet is still grounded.

Sure, it seems there might be a problem with the MCAS. I’m assuming the FCOM vol.2 is ‘light on’ with information on this new system. I would also like to think that Boeing covered all eventualities with this system and were satisfied that the Memory Items would suffice.
Lets face it, both Airspeed Unreliable and Runaway Stabilizer have the pilot remove automation and Fly the aircraft. Simple stuff.
Sadly and with all information so far, I think both accidents were avoidable.
